What kinds of triangles can you use the pythagorean theorem on

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem applies to right angled triangles only.

However, for any other triangle, by dropping a perpendicular from any vertex on to the opposite side, you form two right angled triangles both of which can be solved by the Pythagorean theorem.

So, the Pythagorean theorem applies to right angled triangles directly and to other triangles indirectly.

Answer:

  right triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem relates the side lengths of a right triangle.

  c² = a² +b² . . . . . . . . for legs 'a' and 'b' and hypotenuse 'c'

__

<em>Additional comments</em>

The more general form of the relation between side lengths of a triangle is given by the <em>Law of Cosines</em>:

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C) . . . . for sides 'a', 'b', and 'c' with angle C opposite side 'c'

You will notice this reduces to the Pythagorean relation when C = 90°.

__

Triples of integers that satisfy the Pythagorean relation are called <em>Pythagorean triples</em>. The smallest set (and the only sequential set) of these is (a, b, c) = (3, 4, 5). Other triples commonly seen in math problems are (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17), and multiples of these.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not B because 7x^2 means multiplying the equation by seven. It isn't C because that would move the graph DOWN seven units. And it's not D because when it is in parenthesis like that, it means that it is a horizontal shift, not vertical.

weqwewe [10]

Answer: (17.14,\ 22.86)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval estimate for the population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm ME, where \overline{x} is the sample mean and ME  is the margin of error.

Given : Sample mean: \overline{x}=20

The margin of error for a 98% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution : ME=2.86

Now, the confidence interval estimate for the population mean will be :-

20\pm2.86=(20-2.86,\ 20+2.86)=(17.14,\ 22.86)

Hence, the 98% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution =  (17.14,\ 22.86)
